What rocks recrystallize to form metamorphic?

Sedimentary rocks such as shale, limestone, and sandstone can recrystallize to form metamorphic rocks like slate, marble, and quartzite, respectively. Igneous rocks like basalt and granite can also undergo recrystallization to form metamorphic rocks such as greenstone and gneiss.


Sandstone and basalt are changed by heat and pressure to form?

Sandstone is changed into quartzite and basalt is changed into schist or gneiss through the process of metamorphism.


What metamorphic rock is formed sandstone?

Quartz sandstone, aka arenite, can form the metamorphic rock called quartzite.


Can Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks.?

Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks

Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?

Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks through the process of heat and pressure, but they are more commonly associated with forming from existing metamorphic or sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks can indirectly contribute to the formation of metamorphic rocks by heating up and altering surrounding rocks, leading to the formation of new metamorphic rocks.


What are intermediate materials in a rock cycle?

Intermediate materials in the rock cycle include sedimentary rocks like sandstone and shale, which are formed through the deposition and compaction of sediments. These rocks can undergo metamorphism to form metamorphic rocks like marble and schist. Metamorphic rocks, in turn, can melt to form magma that solidifies into igneous rocks like granite and basalt.


Is gneiss a limestone or sandstone?

Gneiss is neither limestone nor sandstone. Gneiss is a metamorphic rock that forms from the transformation of pre-existing rocks such as granite or sedimentary rocks under high heat and pressure. The resulting gneiss typically exhibits banded layers of minerals.


Can metamorphic rocks form form other metamorphic rocks?

yes, all rocks can form from all others depending on pressure, etc
